Verdict

Hometown Glory has a clear chance at his best but is struggling to find form this term although he'll have no problem with the trip whilst Lunar Deity is another looking to recapture decent form figures. AQUA ARDENS looked an improved sort when scoring here last time in cool fashion. appearing an improved performer, and looks to complete a course hat-trick. He is hard to oppose.
